I thought it was a problem with the package but time and trying thi on a friend's computer have convinced me otherwise. Do you have any idea why this might be hapening? I have pasted the error output of apt-get -f install below: Do you want to continue? [Y/n] (Reading database ... 86210 files and directories currently installed.)
